Access / Export CRM 365 Audit Log Data - dynamics-crm

Trying to get Microsoft CRM 365 Audit Log Data into Power BI for reporting.
Tried OData Feed Connector to CRM 365, It does connect, but can't see the Audit Log Tables.
Is there a way to extract Audit Log Records from CRM to excel or csv?

The Dynamics 365 connector & oData connector seems to be not working for Audit entity set from this community discussion and this PowerBI one
For understanding how/what format the Audit data is stored - I have written in detail on this SO thread.

I used these instructions successfully to get the users last login information to a Power BI report:

CRM Data migration using scribe is throwing service error

I am new to SCRIBE online tool. I am trying to migrate CRM contacts from one on-premise system to another CRM on-premise system.
The map contains lookups within "for each".
e.g.

For each result

Update/Insert contact in system 2
After processing 2000 records the CRM service stops responding.
The error is as below,
The requested service "https://>/organization.svc" could not be activated.
Clearly, it is load that causing the service failure.
The total number of records to be migrated are 30000+
Can someone please help with optimal way of working with SCRIBE online?

Problem retrieving Dynamics CRM custom fields for integration in ADF

I am doing data integration from Dynamics CRM to Azure SQL Database using Azure Data Factory. I am unable to fetch the custom fields
created in Dynamics CRM for doing the mapping in integration. Please help me with the solution for the above.
We ran pretty hard into the limitations of the Dynamics connector of Azure Data Factory v2. The ADF Dynamics connector does not expand the fields and requires a way too big rewrite of our current logic. Either with an entity selection or FetchXML, same results.
We were using SSIS + Cozyroc that did expand a lot of fields automatically. So we are back to using SSIS + Cozyroc. And since running custom components on SSIS-IR is... challenging we are also back to running SSIS on-premise.

Microsoft Dynamics CRM, associated entities does not pull up records

We have a on-prem instance of Microsoft Dynamics CRM. The associated entities in all the forms come up blank and no records show up.
When I get this error in on-prem environments, it's usually because the database is getting pinged and queries to it are timing out. You may want to check the database to see if it is being overwhelmed and unable to return data.
we ended up updating the CRM version to resolve the issue.
temporary fix was implemented by restoring a backup of the database.

How to Migrate Users to CRM Online using SCRIBE?

Can you migrate system users prepared in staging database to CRM 2013 Online using SCRIBE?
I need to create 750 users (currently in CRM4) in CRM online and assign them to their source BUs. (Root BU excepted). I can stage them as required.
Can I migrate these users?
You cannot create users to a CRM Online using Scribe, you can only update them.
I have this issue recently and my solution was:
Create a DTS to create an CSV file* with the users: You can add the users using the Office portal or through the PowerSehll.
Creates a DTS with all the other information about the users (The CSV is pretty basic, so you will need to add all the other information related to every user).
Create a DTS with the relation between Users and Roles
*You can see the csv format in your Office portal, under Users->Active Users->Bulk add
https://portal.office.com/default.aspx##/UserManagement/ImportFile.aspx?refer=%2FEAdmin%2FUser%2FActiveUsers16.aspx
Maybe there is a quicker way to do it, but this was the approach I found.
Note that Scribe Insight isn't able to change a users business unit.
When I had a similar requirement (to update the business units of a large number of users) I uses SQL Server Integration Services.
